1. If there is no pressure in the back court, get to the FTLE in the front court quickly.

2. If there is a 3 on 3 press in the back court, stay and help the trail officiate.

3. Don’t slide up the court going from C-C, your eyes are bouncing. Run up the floor and look over your  shoulder. 

4. On traps in the back court, help with the shot clock, when it comes to the 10 second count.

5. Take center side drives all the way to the basket, especially on breaks.

6. On fast breaks, stop at the FTLE, so you can be ready to officiate above the ring play. 

7. Be ready to officiate curl and crossing plays.

8. Remember you have weak side rebound responsibility.

9. Protect the Lead’s back side.

10. Officiate where the Lead and Trail cannot.
